PUBLIC:

For UK Midlands companies, great VC for the lower equity/loan requirement - a market niche ignored by the bigger VC's. AEGF board members have a practical outlook based on real operational experience. Little red tape, quick response, look for constructive ways to make a deal work if suitable. After funding closed, they have been very supportive, and also take time to get networking/contacts going between investee companies if appropriate.

PUBLIC:

Most investors claim to add value as well as putting in money - in my experience, few do. These guys on the other hand actually do. I have a lot to do with investors in the past and these rate top of my list. They are pragmatic, business experienced, approachable, helpful and enthusiastic. They are not angels of course, but I think their business background really means that they understand the deal from both points of view and know that the deal is not the end but really the beginning.
